It works best on a cloudy day.
When it dosn't work
-Super sunlight (For some reason the sun shut downs the acc and makes the car freakout so you have to stop and turn of the car then turn it on to make it work again)
-Reflections from road signs when the light beams hits and reflects back at the camera then it shuts down.
-When there is a car standing still next to the road it shuts down.
-In extreme rainfall it also shuts down.
So yeah BMW got some work to do on their tech.

Adaptive Cruise in my past two i3's have worked very well for my 80 mile daily commute. One every few weeks the system would warn me that road conditions have disabled the ACC. I normally wait a few seconds and turn it back on without fail. The only time it completely locked me out was when I discovered that a huge bird shit almost completely covered the sensor on the windshield. I'd say once every two weeks is pretty good considering the amount of miles I drive. This is in Los Angeles weather by the way. Maybe it's different in extreme fog, rain, or snow.
